Help! it's an hotel but I used changelotzoning and it won't behave as hotel again...

[Omi~]

Hello, I wanted to rebuild one of the hotels at the Japanese village so I used changelotzoning community, I made changes and then before exiting I used the same cheat but with "hotel". I have sent my sims there and now they can't book empty rooms and the information desk has no actions attached. But there -are- tourists, desk man, ladies doing the cleaning...
What did I do wrong? I am sure it is set to "hotel" now...
thanks

I think you have to have the  hotel doors to the hotel rooms.No other doors.

You did everything correctly. The only thing that may be causing the problem is as Vanessa has stated. Check to see that you used the appropriate hotel doors. I am not sure but they may not have been available when you did the initial built but after the CHEAT was used and you saved and exited the lot, they should be available when you re-entered the lot.

I have the correct doors correctly placed.
I tried making my sims checking in at a prebuilt hotel that I didn't modify and they can't select doors either.
I really don't know what is going on...

You may have a mod conflict.

[jinyc]

You may have a "door" mod in game that is borking your hotel. Also, if you have downloaded any lots from others you may have inadvertently added a "hidden" mod that is older and needs to be updated. As CJ has suggested, if this is the possible case of a mod conflict, you need to run either Clean Installer or the SW Hack Conflict Utility or MATY's Hack Diff mod to be certain.

If you do not have these in your game then it's time to get them!

Let us know!

Yes,jinyc may be right,do you have the door hack by Inge Jones?She is a genious but the hack is not compatible with BV.I had this problem myself.

[Inge Jones]

The door hack does not work in hotels, but it won't stop hotel doors working as normal.

I have never been able to build a working hotel right from installing BV.  They just dont work.  I can visit as a community lot but nothing else.  There;s never a belboy or a guy at reception, no housekeepers - nowt.

The ChangeLost Zoning hasn't worked either since installing seasons.

I built a hotel in Twikkii eons ago and it has always worked. I used the zoning cheat and it worked. I am now trying to remember if I used hotel or dorm to set it up. I don't think it was dorm as this cheat would (or should) be specific to UNI lots but...and it's a big but...maybe that's a EXis fubar.

What I have found is that one can not build a hotel on any other hood except a vacation one. Others have tried to build in the main neighborhood and have failed continuously. Are you trying to build in a vacation hood or another neighborhood i.e DT, Bluewater or any of the main hoods?

[nattysims]

i didn't mean to crash Omi's post - sorry hun - just sympathise.  No, hotels i've tried are in holiday islands.  I just cheat now and place the stuff and get availible sims to stand there for stories etc.

Never had the take photos option either so something is causing a conflict.

Spend hours + hours checking downloads and using hack tools the worst offender i can find for anything that goes wrong in the game is the inteem which just appears in my downloads every now and then without me even trying to get it.  i don't want it, i don;t like and i wish people would check their files before they upload - i do.
